SHE

by Cate Lousie Gersch

And share in her triumph over difficulties.
She opens her eyes, the new day dawns -
Her heart filled with joy, gone are the storms.
No longer bars imprison her soul –
Life gently beckons; she answers its call.
Freed from its prison, her Spirit now sings!
She now lives contented, at peace with the world –
No more Fear her master.
Tears of happiness spring from her heart –
Freely they come; she embraces each one
Like a lover’s caress, or the sun’s warmth on her skin.
She eagerly awaits like a child for what every day brings –
As a butterfly drifting on summer’s soft breeze,
She is now free to explore!
Once disheartened and broken,
Now with each step she takes,
Her confidence grows like captains of old
Sailing for lands yet unknown!
She marks out her map –
As the journey unfolds, her heart is the compass;
Her direction, it shows though trials she faces.
She knows she will overcome! She now lives empowered –
No longer in chains.
Will love ever find her?
For she longs to share with another
Her love, her joy, and care…
For there are those
Who will judge her for whom she’s become –
Threatened by her free Spirit
And her courage to endure.
Uncomfortable in her presence, they stay far away;
But as she tastes rejection,
She knows acceptance, too –
Trusting but a few now,
For she knows betrayal comes easily…
But for another with whom to share Life’s journey,
Her life is complete.
Wisdom and knowledge are now what she seeks –
Not things superficial, but waters still and deep.
She hopes with her passing, her life’s not been in vain,
But by her friendship, others might gain.
That they may take delight in knowing her true heart,

Have a sensational week

Love and Hugs

I suppose you have been wondering where I have been hiding? This year has just flown by for me and I am sure it is the same for you. Firstly I would like to welcome you to our new format of T-Girls Tips. The start of this year has been incredibly busy for me both personally and professionally. My life has been an amazing journey and I am so often asked “How did I come to do, what I do?” Well, I thought today maybe a good time to tell my story. It is reasonably rare that you have a profession as a “femininity coach”. Where did it all start?

Where Did It All Start

It all started several years ago when I started to research the TG community sometime after that I completed a diploma in Colour and Style. I have always had a passion for helping others and I decided that the TG community could use my skills and services by this time I had already been working with several TG women. I found this to be so rewarding and found my niche, I feel very passionate and purposeful about what I could offer these women. It has been a lifelong mission for me to help women see their value. This need is amplified within the TG community.

Becoming The Femininity Coach

I also knew that I could take advantage of the qualifications I had gained as a results coach and NLP practitioner along with my 27 years in the cosmetic industry. It seemed I had the perfect mix to become a “Femininity Coach” my passion grows on a daily basis and I have been so blessed by the wonderful women who have come in to my life to support both personally and professionally.

5,000 TG Women At Our FaceBook Fan Page

When we started “The Femininity Coach” we had nine TG women in our data base, today we are nudging 1,000 we have a FaceBook Fan Page that has reached almost 5,000. I am often overwhelmed by the emails that I receive and feel honoured to be part of your journey. Having worked with so many girls both through the internet and face to face I believe I have an understanding that very few genetic women will ever have and through this understanding I can facilitate the transformations required for my clients to become a “natural looking women”.

The T-Girls Transformation Program

There is so much more involved than putting on a dress and make up as you know only too well. I understand the journey that you go on and the pain, suffering and ridicule that you are subjected to. Understanding all of this makes me more determined to make a difference and support you. Recently I developed a T-Girls Transformation program that will teach you some basic fundamentals in feminization, this program is tailored to the TG community and offers some basic understanding on skin care make-up and grooming. Our next step is to provide you with much needed information that will help you on your path whether you are a beginner or more advanced, the most important key here is to save you hours and hours on the internet and have all the information you need to support you in one spot.

Tools To Give You Confidence

I am so excited about what we have in store for you over the coming months, at the end of the day what I am aiming to is to support you and provide the tools to give you confidence, dignity and hope.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your contribution to “The Femininity Coach” I look forward to taking the next step with you.

Amazing Transgender Children

Recently there has been so much awareness around the TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY and many documentary shows highlighting the challenges that TG women face. Today I was to share a couple of videos that are about TRANSGENDER CHILDREN. It will be a delight to see these kids grow up in a positive and supportive environment. Acceptance is such A BIG CHALLENGE for so many, thank goodness there are support services, both on and off line that offer amazing help and resources to the TG community.

5 Minutes With Miss Bri’Anna Francissica Webster

Julie: Tell us about Bri’Anna

Bri’Anna: Where to begin:

My name is Bri’Anna Francissica Webster and I am a preoperative male to female transgender who started her journey on May 6th, 2006. My name was officially changed on May 8th, 2008 and I started Gender Therapy on June 18th, 2008. I have been having many problems and frustrations on finding adequate employment as a full time transgendered Lady. I did market research for about 3 years and finally decided to open up a High Fashion Clothing Boutique that carries everything from wigs, makeup, perfumes, hoisery, furs, jewelry, and high fashion designer items such as Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo.

I am 38 years old and the main reason for me opening an online clothing boutique is due to there are not that many stores that specialize in high fashion clothing and accessories for the alternative lifestyle and trying to find heels, boots, and shoes in larger sizes are very rare to find. Also since I was not able to find adequate employment to save money for my SRS (sexual reassignment surgery). I needed to do something to help raise money for my SRS and have a future income.

Many Blessings and Respects,
Miss Bri’Anna Francissica Webster
CEO of hiddencloset.org

Julie: What has been the biggest challenge for you so far?

Bri’Anna: My biggest challenge was dealing with my gender issues and finding adequate employment to pay for my sexual reassignment surgery.

Julie: If you had to start over again, what would you do differently?

Bri’Anna: If I had to start all over again I would make sure that I received the proper medical help with my gender identity and prepare myself for having my SRS at the age of 16.

Julie: Who do you admire and why?

Bri’Anna: I admire people that are open minded without regards to sexual orientation as well as those who support someone who are going through the transition of male to female and or female to male that are willing to help those that need emotional support, mental support as well as being treated and respected as they should.

Julie: It takes courage and determination to step out, what tips can you share and what is your motivator?

Bri’Anna: It does take a lot of courage to step out for it is not an easy journey to go through. The tips that I can give to anyone would be

1. talk with a Gender Therapist about gender identity
2. start doing research on Transgenderism and really take heed to what is expected
3. contact a primary physician for HRT as well as consult with an SRS Surgeon. An SRS Surgeon can tell you how to get started on your transitional journey.

Julie: What are your 3 biggest success tips?

Bri’Anna: My three biggest successes are as follows:

1. 3 time published poet,
2. growing up in a professional business family, and
3. having an open mind and not giving up on your dreams.

1. Amanda Lepore: World Famous Transsexual

Amanda Lepore’s, a boy from a poverty-stricken background is now one of the world’s most famous transsexuals and notable for her countless plastic surgery procedures. Her first surgery at the age of 15 her last year of high school was for a sex change in, and she has had numerous surgeries since.

2.Pete Burns: Spent Most Of His Life Savings On Reconstructive Surgery

Pete Burns, Former Frontman Of The British Band ‘Dead Or Alive’ famous for the song “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” has had extensive polyacrylamide injections in his lips, cheek implants, many nose remoldings and several tattoos. In 2006 he revealed he had ploughed most of his life savings into eighteen months of plastic surgery after an initial procedure on his lips went terribly wrong.

3. Donatella Versace: Created Herself A Caricature

Since taking over her brother Gianni Versace’s international fashion empire, platinum blonde fashion designer Donatella Versace has undergone a dramatic transformation courtesy of reconstructive surgery, turning her into a caricature of herself. Often nose jobs are usually to reduce the size of the nose but Donatella’s has been enlarged over the years, and it is now wider and flatter and a little crooked, indicative there was at least one failed nose job.

If that wasn’t enough, Donatella also has enlarged lips, not unlike the trout pouts of the Hollywood divas the designer clothes. Although the fashion icon has always had big lips, the over-sized top lip signifies that fillers, like collagen, have been injected copiously.

For a 53-year old, Donatella’s skin is very firm, indicative of a probable facelift. She doubtlessly also uses dermal injectables like Botox to eradicate wrinkles, even when she smiles. Her tight face is in strong contrast to the baggy skin on her body.

4. Hang Mioku: Self-Injected Cooking Oil In Her Face

Hang Mioku is a woman, 48 years old living in South Korea. She became horribly addicted to plastic surgery that she is now unrecognisable after her obsessiveness led her to inject cooking oil in her face. Her first plastic surgery procedure was when she was 28. Operation after operation, eventually left her face enlarged and disfigured.

The surgeons she visited declined to perform further work on her and one believes that her obsession could be an indicator of a psychological disorder. This led Hang to resort to injecting cooking oil in her own face. Her face became so monstrously large that she was nick named “standing fan” by the children in her neighbourhood – because of her enlarged face and petite body.

5. Jackie Stallone: Facelift, Nose Job, Cheek Implants Brow Lift

Silvester Stallone’s mother Jackie, famous for her claim that she could talk to dogs about the future having set up a psychic hotline charging callers for advice, has also achieved fame for what appears to be a might too much reconstructive surgery, apparently trying everything including facelifts, nose jobs, cheek implants, brow lifts and certainly lip jobs.

6. Jocelyn Wildenstein: The Us$4 Million Dollar Monster

Nicknamed by the press “The Bride of Wildenstein” referring to The Bride of Frankenstein, Jocelyn Wildenstein has reportedly invested up to US$4,000,000 on plastic surgery over several years, leaving her as one of the most awful infamous examples of cosmetic surgery addiction. How did that come about?

Late in the 1970’s a beautiful woman named Jocelyn Wildenstein had it made. A fresh-faced mother of two married to an exceptionally wealthy art dealer caught her husband in bed with a 21 year old Russian model. Any normal person would divorce him and take all his money, right? Not Jocelyn Wildenstein! Rather, she was determined to win back her husband’s affection by making herself more beautiful under the scalpel. Nevertheless, her husband left her but she will always have her cosmetic surgeon.

7. Dennis Avner: na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na – Catman

Dennis Avner AKA “Catman” also known by his Native American name “Stalking Cat” incredibly underwent extensive plastic surgery to transform him to look like his totem animal – the tiger. His procedures included extensive tattoos, transdermal implants allowing whiskers to be worn, subdermal implants to changing the shape of his face and filing his teeth to make them look more tigerish.

8. Eric Sprague: Lizardman

Eric Sprague born in 1972, now known as Lizardman was the first recipient of surgery for creating a split tongue and is seen to be responsible for the subsequent surge in popularity for this particular modification. 700 hours of tattooing, five Teflon horn implants underneath the skin of his eyebrows, filing his teeth to sharp fangs, bifurcation of his tongue, and stretching his septum and earlobes has transformed this 37 year old into a reptile.

9. Michael Jackson: In Excess Of 10 Nose Procedures

Remember how normal Michael Jackson looked in the 70’s and 80’s before his transformation into the sideshow freak that he ended up as before his untimely death. It is alleged that he had in excess of 10 nose reconstructive procedures.

10. Michaela Romanini: Italian Socialite, Notorious For Her Collagen Misuse

Meet Italian socialite Michaela Romanini who became famous after numerous surgeries. Incredible to believe this lip collagen injector is only 40 years old.

How you behave is an integral and important part of being stylish ahead of your clothing, makeup and jewelery. This is your etiquette and manners.

Perhaps the most important ‘manners’ are those for which there are set of simple time honoured rules.

Our habits and mannerisms in daily living (the most automatic things we do) define us as refined individuals, sensitive to the rights of others; or as thoughtless, ignorant and rude.

As in life, it is often the small things which make the biggest impact on how people perceive and experience you.

It is the simple things like:

As in life, it is often the small things which make the biggest impact on how people perceive and experience you.

It is the simple things like:

Sometimes we take it for granted that everyone is taught these simple rules when growing up. It never ceases to amaze me how many people don’t follow them. Consequently they seem ignorant and rude, despite the fact that they may look fabulous.

We often think that being stylish is all about what we wear, but it is just as much in how we act and treat other people. We all warm to people who show us genuine kindness and respect, and tend to avoid those who don’t.

One of our favorite poems at The Femininity Coach is Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. This poem really helps you understand that beauty is what you make it and inner beauty and myster really does shine through. I know many of you have heard this before, but it’s definitely worth looking at again and taking the words to heart, because each of us are phenomenal women!

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Every t-girl has questions they wish they had the answers to as they journey through the path to femininity. Whether it’s a question about self esteem or society, or questions about fashion and style, I would love to hear from you! To submit a question to me, and to see it featured on our blog, visit The Femininity Coach and click on Contact Us to submit your question to me. Your question will be answered in detail and featured on our blog!  Here’s today’s t-girl question:

Dear Julie,
I am looking for a new wig until my hair grows out. I want to find something that is natural and fits my facial structure. How do I know what my face shape is?
-Hugs and Kisses, Monica

Great question Monica! When choosing the right wig, knowing your face shape is the single most important deciding factor. To determine your face shape stand in the mirror and pull all hair away from your face. Trace the outline of your face in the mirror (use a bar of soap for easy clean up) and then compare your face shape to the following illustrations:

Now when you go shopping for wigs, you know exactly what to tell the sales person or your consultant!

What’s your burning question for The Femininity Coach? Contact me today and you can be featured on my blog. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Summer is here! Whether you live in one of the hottest places on earth or a comfortable vacation spot, dressing classy for the summer can be hard…especially if you are a TGirl!

Before you start redoing your summer wardrobe, your first step is to purge your closet and store everything that can’t be worn this summer. Storing your fall and winter clothes not only keeps your mind from trying to get you to wear something that’s not season appropriate; but it also increases your closet real-estate which gives you loads of room for your summer shopping.

When shopping for the summer there are a few wardrobe staples that every TGirl should have:

A Flattering Bathing Suit. A great fitting flattering one or two piece bathing suit will last a TGirl for years to come. Because we are developing our wardrobe staples make sure you pick one that’s black, white or navy so that you’ll always have a swimsuit that doesn’t go out of style. Of course, you can build upon that base later.

A Strapless Convertible Bra. This is a very important staple in a TGirl’s wardrobe, especially in the summer. Showing your bra straps is a major no, especially when wearing strapless dresses, tank tops and halters. Invest in a convertible strapless bra that can be rearranged in as many possibilities as your wardrobe.

A Built In Bra Tank. Sometimes you just can’t wear a bra under everything. A built in bra tank allows you to feel the summer breeze without sacrificing support or the illusion of support.

A Ribbed cotton tank. Originally made for men, these shirts are now fashionably acceptable for women and can be incorporated within your wardrobe. You can wear them with jeans and a scarf, a suit jacket, or alone with lots of accessories.

Cotton Clothing. Whether it’s a light weight top in range of colors and prints or a comfortable printed dress, cotton clothing will keep you fashionable while feeling great in the summer heat.

A Strapless Dress. A strapless dress in black, navy, white or tan can be incorporated into your wardrobe seamlessly. Try a maxi dress paired with a great blazer or jean jacket with gladiator sandals or a shorter evening style strapless dress for those summer nights.

Khaki Shorts. Not only do khaki shorts keep you looking cool, but they come in a variety of lengths and look very sophisticated and chic when paired with summer tops.

Drawstring Pants. You’d be amazed at the combinations you can develop with a few pairs of classy drawstring linen pants. A khaki, white and brown pair are essential for a stylish summer wardrobe.

These are a few of your summer basics to get through the rest of this summer. Many of these pieces can easily translate to fall by using a technique called layering. Stay tuned to my blog for more TGirl tips!

Sincerely,
